I have to say that i find the fillers this time very good. I mean would like to see how the 3 strongest arrancar will be beaten up but at first some nice story about the zanpakouto. ;-) Masamura, the evil zanpakouto, thinks he has everything under control with his shitty ability to awake the instincts... But Hichigo (Hollow Ichigo) don't react on this and i think he beatens Masamura pretty up. On the others side i find it good that they are in Ichigos soul 'cause Ichigo don't has the prob with changing into a Hollow. The end of the episode is the best. When Masamura thinks his ability works Hichigo smiles only and attack. Then the episode ends. Pretty cool!

Another question is what they will show us when the storyline with Hueco Mundo go on. Will they show us the fight against the 3 strongest Espada, Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra or the others against the Exquias (don't know if i wrote it right...) But it's a question for later, at first some Zanpakouto-guy needs to be beaten up!

It's a fun arc but I hope they get back to the main one sometime. I was thinking Muramasa would be the 11th Captains sword but that kind of went out the window since he said he killed his master. Speaking of that, kind of lame to have the 11th Captain totally out of the picture since him and the little girl don't use special swords and only really on Spirit Pressure/Willpower/Kidou(that is if the little girl uses it at all). I mean unless they have a good story about him not being there, it's too big of a plot gap to have the guy that could fight with full power conspicously absent during all the battles.

Other than that, a good arc, just hope it doesn't go too long. Want to see if the Vizards will pop in to the big fight in the main arc and start a 3-way death match, or if everyone will just gang up on Aizen.
